Google Translate is getting pretty darn good at what it does. I'm curious to see how this compares.

- keen 16y agoThe question is, will Duolingo be able to beatbox?
- siddhant 16y agoDuolingo looks like its more about language education, instead of translation. Should be interesting. I'm curious too.
- spicyj 16y agoI'm not so sure about that. Just as reCAPTCHA seems like it's just aimed at blocking robots but is really digitizing thousands (millions?) of books, this project claims to do education and translation.
- cdr 16y agoFor western languages, yes - for others, not so much. It's still pretty bad for chinese/japanese/korean - even if it's better than anything else out there.
- DarkShikari 16y agoGoogle Translate is nigh-unusable for anything besides French, Spanish, and sometimes German. Russian is bad enough -- Chinese, Japanese, and Korean are incomprehensible.
- kpozin 16y agoI've seen Google Translate do excellent translations for Russian, Hebrew, and Arabic. Certainly not fully gramatically correct, but accurate enough to convey the meaning of virtually every sentence and paragraph -- which is the point of machine translation.
